| Kelvin shows off the scars from his 2007 surgery |
He said his father had bypass surgery in Canada in 2007. He explained that the artery used in the bypass operation became clogged and this led to the heart attack.
The younger Ramnath made the comments following an autopsy, which revealed the cause of death.

He also said the Environmental Management Authority (EMA) is planning a "grand" funeral for his father, whom he described as a family man who made time for his four children and three stepchildren. Kelvin was chairman of the EMA.
The funeral service is scheduled for Wednesday at the Balmain Presbyterian Church. He was born and raised in Balmain and always considered the community home.
Ramnath is survived by his four children Natalia Ramnath, 33; Kelvin Junior, 30; Devan Ramnath, 28 and Veda, 27. His first wife Golly Ramnath died in 1992. He also had three stepchildren Andrew, Dale and Lauren Sahatoo.
“He was active in politics. He spend a lot of time with us. He spent a lot of time in his job. He took care of you. It’s a great loss, he was always in touch with the people,” Kelvin junior told the Guardian. He said his father had been feeling very well in spite of his cardiac problems.
His political successor in Couva South, Rudranath Indarsingh said his relationship with Ramnath went back more than 20 years since Indarsingh was an executive member of the All Trinidad Sugar and General Workers Trade Union. He said Ramnath was a strong advisor to him after the 2010 election.
“Kelvin Ramnath was Kelvin Ramnath," Indarsingh said. "He did not mince his words. There would always be examples of his mannerism and ability to speak. He was at home on the political platform where he brought his sense of spice to the campaign. He was a giant in the politics of T&T, a true soldier of the party having been the party organiser and he served as a MP.
“He had great debating and oratory skills and would always be known for the large contribution he made to politics and would be missed by the people of Couva South.”
